Lyves – Visions

I’m currently sitting in an apartment at Plaza de la Merced, yards away from where Picasso was born, drunk off Cava and feeling inspired by the atmosphere and views of the square. No better time to listen to some good new music, and it doesn’t get much newer and much better than London singer-songwriter/producer Lyves. I’m always drawn to music like this because it’s honest and it’s real, a lot of new music is throwaway, and has no soul, or it’s just boring. This song is the kind of song you can put on repeat and not get bored or irritated. I find it difficult being a new music blogger sometimes because not a lot of it inspires me or makes me think it’s worthy of sharing, so doing a post EVERYDAY is like “Oh all the songs out today are shit, what am I going to do, find an old one?”. Well thank you Lyves for making my job today easy, and thanks also for this wonderfully dreamy / uplifting song. Not only is this lady a great singer and songwriter but she’s also one of the nicest and warmest people you’ll come across. I’d describe about 5% of musicians and people who work in the ‘industry’ as ‘nice’ and ‘warm’, the rest are slappable, like Kim Kardashian’s inflating buttocks…
